Pulse jet engine / Mohd Hairie Hazali

As a final year project the group decided to design, fabricate and test a pulse jet engine. The design was targeted to produce 6 pounds of thrust. As there is no design guidelines or textbook material regarding pulse jet engine available for references, it was decided that data of historically funct...
